#Maplestory black mage drops series

If anyone wants to comment, feel free, promote discussion. I am thinking of a few things, but this is just my speculation and how MapleStory could make eke out a few more years of life before Nexon tells everyone to start playing MapleStory 2. So this thread is to discuss what will happen in the years to come once Nexon ends the Black Mage event and removes this final area of the Arcane River(maybe the whole Arcane River?) from MapleStory's servers.

Just like Kingdom Hearts 3 is not going to end the series and retire it, I doubt slaying the Black Mage will mean that MapleStory will end up like Wizard101 at the end of Empyrea where all you can do is just party quest and sit around Henesys exchanging war stories. It's obvious this is the ultimate epic ending to MapleStory's story. He has ten googol HP and everyone in the game who is Level 250 or higher has to help cherry tap his health down, but once you do he switches to ANOTHER phase with buttloads of shared health. More likely, the fact that his HP is shared over every server in Maplestory.

It make sense - Moonbridge and Labyrinth of Suffering are limited because it's detailing your hero leading the charge through the final stretch of the Arcane River, which is the heart of the Black Mage's domain and thus the most dangerous area in all of MapleStory with normal mobs that can one-shot a Level 275 character in one hit! And let's not talk about the Black Mage, who is the ultimate enemy and has several transformations. From reading the posts on Maplestory news it seems that the last area of the Arcane River is limited-time stuff.
